1) I have user's latitude and longitude available with me who is in New York, USA.

2) I have an address of a shop in New York, USA

Now how can I generate a route map from my location to that shop's location?

How can I fetch shop's latitude, longitude?

3) I am working on Bold-9000 simulator

  • It sounds like they want to go the other way, that is from their app they's like to open the BlackBerry Maps app with the specified coordinates mapping a route. – Marc Novakowski Feb 23 '10 at 16:05
  • User Friendly this link is very good but Marc is right i have to open BB maps and get route when specific coordinates are passed.. – Swati Feb 24 '10 at 04:14

Take a look at this KnowledgeBase article for details on how to launch the BlackBerry Maps application from your own, passing it various types of data (including GPS coordinates for mapping directions).

To get the lat/long for an address there is no RIM API available, however you could use a webservice such as the one provided by Google: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html

  • Edited my answer to include a link to a Google webservice to convert an address to lat/long coordinates. – Marc Novakowski Feb 24 '10 at 04:58
